Planning Matters

Planning Matters: Emergency Planning Guidance for Archives, has been produced in collaboration between Scottish Council on Archives and National Records of Scotland, with contributions from Creative Carbon Scotland. The purpose of the guidance is to offer services a roadmap to developing an emergency plan to suit their organisational circumstances. 

Covering preparation, response and recovery, the guidance is designed to aid those who care for archives wherever they are held: archive services, special collections within libraries, and those housed in private historic houses. It focuses on key factors to consider when preparing an emergency plan (EP).
